Effects of climate change on flooding vulnerability focus on alterations of rainfall depth for various recurrence intervals. The flood-prone Yunlin coastal area, located in southwestern Taiwan, is chosen to illustrate the proposed methodology. The results reveal that reducing flooding vulnerability can be...
The hydrological cycle is expected to intensify with global warming, which likely increases the intensity of extreme precipitation events and the risk of flooding. The changes, however, often differ from the theorized expectation of increases in water‐h
These results indicate that different management procedures will be needed to minimize the effects of climate change on the flooding of the two climatically different watersheds and the regions that they represent.Athanasios LoukasUniversity of ThessalyMichael C. Quick...
Climate change and the flood risk Is climate change causing increased flooding ? Can we see the effects on floods ?Arnell, Nigel
Climate change and urbanization are exacerbating the effects of flooding. A close look at a Nepalese river reveals that efforts to reduce the impact of floods must consider the geomorphic changes that occur during these extreme events. Kristen L. Cook ...

When we talk about climate change, we usually talk about the effects on the planet, or the economic consequences. 提到气候变化时,我们常常谈论它对地球或经济的影响。 But all the damage being done by climate change is also having an effect on our minds, our mental health. 但气候变化带来的所有...
One of the most destructive natural hazards, tropical cyclone (TC)–induced coastal flooding, will worsen under climate change. Here we conduct climatology–hydrodynamic modeling to quantify the effects of sea level rise (SLR) and TC climatology change (under RCP 8.5) on late 21st century flood ...
The flooding of the storm water network is caused by climate change, land use change and an increase in urbanization and the wider population. This study deals with the development of models to extrapolate future change in rainfall events in order to protect the infrastructure of the storm water...
